We are all singers. We may not all be very good singers, but we are all created to sing nonetheless. To sing is written into our human DNA; it is part of God’s design. When singing praise to God, so much more than just the vocal box is engaged.  God has formed our hearts to be moved with depth of feeling and a whole range of emotion as the melody-carried truths of who God is and whose we are sink in.

Sometimes we meet people who say, “I can’t sing”—as in, “The sound that comes out of my mouth when I try to sing is not what I was hoping for.” Perhaps this is you.  But if you can speak, you can physically sing. Christian singing begins with the heart, not on the lips.

The truth is that God designed you to sing and gave you everything you need to sing. He wants you to. He’s far less concerned with your tunefulness than your joyfulness.

It is exhilarating to be part of a body of believers singing together.
